... but the moment has been prepared for.

Okeydokey.

Well, it's Boxing Day, and The Eyeless is officially out in the shops. As promised, my blogging ends here.

Thanks for reading, I hoped you enjoyed some insight into the making of the book. As I said in the various entries, there's no one way to write. I'm sure a lot of other writers reading my stuff about 'the process of writing' would have been baffled and bewildered because so little of it was like their own process. If you're an aspiring writer, good luck and the trick is to actually write stuff, not just to want to if only you had the time.

This blog's still here and it's not going anywhere ... please feel free to post reviews, comments, links to reviews about The Eyeless here and so on. I'll still be here to answer questions.

Thanks very much for the blog - it's been fascinating and enjoyable in equal measure.

The perfect aperitif to 'The Eyeless', which, coincidentally, arrived in the post today and shall be devoured this afternoon along with a couple of mince pies and a cup of tea - the perfect comedown to the festive frenzy!

I have enjoyed reading over your blog during the year and since I live in AUSTRALIA have been looking forward to release, which is slated for a month after the UK release (January 25th). However, I was surprised when I went to the bookshop today and it was shelved along with the other releases! I have purchased it and can't wait to start reading it.

A friend of mine told me that he'd been browsing the Dr Who forums and discovered that "The Eyeless" was inspired by a youtube video which turned "The Revenger's Tragedy" into a 9th Dr Who trailer.

If so, I just thought I'd let you know that I'm the guy who made it! If you did take inspiration from it, I'd like to say I'm honoured to have helped, and also could you link me to the page where you made reference to the video?
